    The Knife – A Lung

    August 3, 2009

    Sometimes I get into a weird music mantra mode where I can’t help but listen to the same track on repeat. I don’t know if I ever went this far though. This week for some reason, the song I couldn’t get enough of was this Knife track, where I just listened to it on loop for 3 days.. read more

    Records

    June 14, 2009

    I finally got my record player up and running. After putting so much effort in pairing the right amp, monitor speakers, needle, it’s such a joy to hear my music come out and fill the room. Some of the records I’ve been playing on it are albums I have on CD or digital, and it’s really interesting to hear the difference on the records.

    Dislodged From Immediate Experience

    February 23, 2009

    A glimpse at objective reality swimming just beyond the sizzle of my perception.

    This morning I lay starring into the swelling morning sky beyond slanted roofs and naked branches.
    Exhausted from a sleepless night my mind sparking and slipping from underneath itself,
    suddenly tumbled over into a foreign expanse.

    May 19, 2009

    My friend Bob (female) was throwing her birthday party Tuesday.
    And decided to make it a roast. She rented out a back room in a bar
    and invited all her friends to come prepared to burn her with some sassy material. read more

    17 Year Old Ali

    December 19, 2009

    I was hanging out with an old friend from high school I hadn’t seen in years, when she remembered she had a photo of me that I had never seen. At the time she had me pose with a couple of my paintings, for a photography class she was taking at the end of high school, and I had moved away to college before she had a chance to develop it. read more

    No Talking Tuesday Year End Wrap Up End of Year One

    September 29, 2008

    Click here for summery and origins.

    I thought I would write about my experience with my no talking Tuesdays this last year.
    It has proven to be more beneficial, informative, interesting, consequential and difficult than I anticipated.
    The good news is my resolution to continue for the rest of my life is as strong as when I started.
    I’m excited to see how my experience continues to develop. Here are some thoughts so far. read more

    I love Poignant Christmas Music

    July 28, 2008

    For reasons I don’t understand, I have a real soft spot for poignant Christmas music.
    Last week I steeped myself in Low nonstop for three days.
    On the third day I found myself continuously repeating two songs off the Christmas album.

    No Talking Tuesday # 60

    November 17, 2008

    This Tuesday found me stalking the halls of a Toys R Us. I thought it was blasphemous to my childhood that I should now live right near a Toys R Us (Which would have been something I would have only dared dream as a child) and that I’ve strayed so far from my roots, that I don’t even care.
